To address our main research question, we need to establish a model of preferences for each voter (Step ii, above). There exists a vast literature that uses random utility models for the elicitation of preferences [1]}[2]}[3]}. That is, an agent's preferences are modeled by drawing, for each alternative, a real-value from a parameterized distribution, yielding a ranking of the alternatives according to their scores. In our setting, since an autonomous system may face different scenarios, each of which with a finite set of alternatives that may be obtained from an infinite set, we need a more general notion [4]}. That is why we consider general models known as permutation processes [5]}.
